Additional money will be necessary to fund the projects we have been discussing so far. I'd like to read you descriptions of various proposals and get your reaction to them. A. In one scenario, the City would place one measure on the ballot which would increase the regular property tax levy to raise $800,000 per year. The money would be split between parks maintenance and street repairs and maintenance but nothing would be spent on new projects. The average household would pay an additional $50 dollars per year for 6 years. Would you vote to approve or reject this measure?

In another scenario, the City would place two measures on the ballot. Measure A would fund those same maintenance projects as we talked about in the previous question but we would also add a second measure, Measure B, to fund capital improvements. Measure A to fix and maintains and parks and road would cost $50 a year and Measure B to add new parks and recreation projects would cost an additional $50 for the average household. If both these measures were on the ballot at the same time, were on the ballot together, would you vote to approve ?

In another scenario, the City could combine a bond and levy option where some, but not all, of the new projects would be funded along with basic maintenance of the current parks system.

Rather than raising money through a property tax increase, the City could increase utility taxes and raise a similar amount of money on an ongoing basis without having to go back to voters every six years for a renewal. Residents would pay about $5 more a month or approximately $60 a year. Now that you know more, would you prefer the City pursue a levy or bond like we've been discussing or a utility tax increase?

City of Bremerton Poll A poll of Bremerton voters was completed on behalf of The Connections Group between May 4th and 6th, 2007. Four hundred interviews were completed, each lasting approximately 12 minutes. The sampled respondents were all registered to vote and represented the overall demographics of the city by age, gender, partisanship, and geography. More specific information about the survey respondents is presented in the topline document. The poll was crafted to answer the following questions: ( · Do voters prefer additional money be spent on streets or parks projects? · Do voters prefer additional money be spent on delayed maintenance projects or new projects? · If new money is sought, which taxing mechanism(s) are preferred? · Are there any projects that are favored by specific subgroups that, if included, would increase the likelihood that a measure would pass citywide? · How should a potential ballot measure be structured? The following paragraphs will summarize the conclusions we have drawn from this research project and our recommendations to The Connections Group. 1. Do voters prefer additional money be spent on streets or parks projects? When asked what should be the number one priority of the City this year, 35% of respondents identified "Maintenance and repairs on city streets" while only 6% chose ttparks and recreation." Streets projects were popular especially among voters over 45, while younger voters favored "Economic development incentives" over street repairs. Younger voters were also more likely than older voters to support the City giving priority to parks and recreation projects, but street repairs (i.e. fixing potholes, repaving, and sidewalk repairs) were ultimately more important to younger respondents as well. When individual projects were presented in a follow-up question (I.e. the importance of fixing potholes vs. parks maintenance), street projects were again considered more important than anything else. c\ ali son@alisonpetersconsulting.com 4257889265 OFFICE 2062294981 MOBilE 4258449200 FAX 18619 213th Avenue NE Woodinvillc, WA 98077 1 www.alisonpetersconsulting.com l. ,t MARKET RESEARCH 1fL MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT " ( ALISON PETERS CONSULTING ...... .............. ...... ............... ........ ........ ..... ...... ..... ...... ...... ....... ..... ...... .................. ..... .... ... -,.

In order to mitigate this potential controversy, the City should be cautious about how many of these projects are funded and be able to clearly communicate the benefit to the areas affected. 2. Do voters prefer that additional money be spent on delayed maintenance projects or new projects? \. '- Maintenance projects are strongly preferred to capital expansion projects in Bremerton. There is already a strong sense of c1tizen satisfaction with the way things are going (69% say things in Bremerton are moving in the "right direction") and voters all over the state are weary of new taxes when transportation continues to be most people's #1 frustration (only 11 % of voters think they should "pay more" to make Bremerton a great place to l1ve). al i son@alisonpetersconsulting.com 4257889265 OFFICE 2062294981 MOBILE 4258449200 FAX 18619 2131h Avenue NE Woodinville, WA 98077 2 www.alisonpetersconsulting.com L___- _"- ."

Here is a quick comparison of how Bremerton stacks up to other Puget Sound area cities on the Right Direction/Wrong Track question: Right Direction Wrong Track City of Bremerton (2007) 69% 16% King County (2007) 38% 44% City of Bellingham (2006) 51% 30% Washington State (2006) 51% 42% King County (2005) 38% 48% Realizing that no city is perfect, the City (and any subsequent campaign) will need to make a strong case that we need to tackle street maintenance and safety projects head-on to keep Bremerton a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Only then will a majority of voters be persuaded to support a reasonable tax increase. ( In the next chart, it is clear that respondents expressed much less intensity around the new projects described in the poll. Roughly a third of respondents thought expanding the Boardwalk or making energy efficient improvements at the Senior Center, Aquatics Center, and Sheridan Center were "Very important." In contrast, several of the maintenance projects were considered "Very important" by 44% to 70% of the population. aU son@alisonpetersconsulting.com 4257889265 OFFICE 2062294981 MOSILE 4258449200 FAX 18619 213th Avenue NE Woodinville, WA 98077 3 www.aljsonpetersconsulting.com ;..

If new money is sought, which taxing mechanism(s) are preferred? Increasing car tabs was the most appealing mechanism tested in the poll (44% support) and was more popular than a property tax increase (13%) or a utility tax increase (10%). Car tab fees are perceived to be affordable, progressive, less likely to spike over the years (compared to property tax rates), and many drivers prefer to pay only once a year (as opposed to paying utility fees monthly). That being said, car tabs may not generate enough money to pay for the street projects being considered; it is likely that a property tax increase will be necessary as well. Keeping the total tax increase between $45 and $75 for the average household is critical. If the City opts for a $75 increase, they will need to ensure that the lion share of funding is spent on streets projects as opposed to parks projects, they will need to support a campaign effort and voter outreach, and they ali son@alisonpetersconsulLing.com 4257889265 OFFICE 2062294981 MOBILE 4258449200 FAX 18619 213th Avenue NE Woodinville, WA 98077 4 www.alisonpeterscansulting.com .

Are there any projects that are favored by specific subgroups that, if included, would increase the likelihood that a measure would pass citywide? In general, the parks projects described below were more appealing to Bremerton residents under 45 (see table below). We have found that younger residents are more likely to be users of local parks and trails themselves or enjoying the facilities with their families. Because younger adults are less likely to participate in the electoral process, they need repeated messages to vote as opposed to a persuasive message that might be better targeted to an undecided person. These particular projects were able to resonate because they were specific (i.e. mentioning bathrooms, benches and other amenities) and reasonable (i.e. renovating older parks that presumably need updating). The projects also appeal to seniors even though they are not traditionally h~avy parks users. One could argue that older adults might enjoy parks more if there were more benches and smoother pathways. Project: Under 45 Over 60 Neighborhood park 88% Important 75% Important renovations, including new bathrooms, benches, play areas, landscaping, and pathways Renovations of older 81% Important 72% Important parks Residents living in neighborhoods where their parks would be updated or renovated as a result of this measure should also be included in the campaign's targeting plan. Finally, we would like to point out that women do not offer that much more support for the list of likely projects in Bremerton. In most areas, women's support for both maintenance and new construction is significantly higher but we did not find that to be the case here. This means there would be no real benefit to developing specific campaign messages to women as their interests parallel what is appealing to Bremerton men. aU son@alisonpetersconsulting.com 4257889265 OFFICE 206229 498l MOBILE 4258449200 FAX 18619 213th Avenue NE Woodinville, WA 98077 5 www.aJisonpetersconsulting.com MARKET RESEARCH Ji MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT ( ALISON PETERS CONSULTING ..........., ......... ,., ..... ..........', ........, ....., ....., ..." ..... ..... ...... ......, ......, .... ,. ........... ,.., ....." ...,..,....

How should a potential ballot measure be structured? There were several ballot measure scenarios that were tested. Here is a quick summary of the results: . ( Scenario Outcome 1) Maintenance Levy Lift 62% support overall . Would raise $800K . More overall support from . $50 per year for 6 years voters under 45, but there is low intensity observed 2) Measure A uMaintenance" + 27% support! 30% opposition Measure B "New Projects" . More support among voters . $50 each or $100 total under 45 . No boost from women . More opposition from 4/4 voters 3) Bond/Levy Option 32% support! 60% opposition . $72 per year . Strong intensity behind opposition (most uno" voters would udefinitely" vote no) Now, the big question is whether voters will support a slightly more expensive project (in the $72 range) if it is sold as a street maintenance package and not a combination streets/parks package. While the overall cost of the measure is a real concern to many people, we believe voters want continued progress in Bremerton. They are happy with the way things are going but believe transportation has to be the #1 priority in the city. There is still work to be done (i.e. potholes, repaving and sidewalk maintenance) and these projects have a direct correlation to the quality of life residents are currently enjoying. They also make streets and neighborhoods safer. One could also argue that better streets attract business vitality to the a1 i S on@alisonpetersconsulting.com 4257889265 OFFICE 2062294981 MOBILE 4258449200 FAX 18619 213th Avenue NE Woodinville, WA 98077 6 www.alisonpetersconsulting.com MARKET RESEARCH Ji MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT ( ALISON PETERS CONSULTING ...... ........... ......... ...................... ...... ..... ........ ...... .... ..... ........ ........ ..... ................. ...... ... ....... downtown core (both in terms of stores going in, but also customers coming downtown to shop). Finally, the City can respond to the tax amount by pointing out that property taxes are not the only funding source being used. They can clarify that the two sources of money are being used in response to residents' concern over property taxes and their preference for a car tab increase over a larger property tax hike.
